Sumedha Salunkhe — 2024-09-30

Media plays an important role in the development of society. By providing a platform for the dissemination of information, media can shape public opinion and influence the way people perceive and understand the world around them. For the development of society, keeping in mind the important issues, the media does the work of creating awareness among people. The present research focuses on the role of the media in developing issues. Sakal is a well-known media in Maharashtra. Sakal addresses developmental issues. Kolhapur is situated on the bank of the river Panchaganga. Panchganga is a famous water-body in the Indian city of Kolhapur in Maharashtra. It is a major river and tributary of the Krishna River that flows through the borders of Kolhapur and is formed by the other four rivers. These rivers are known as the Kasari, Kumbhi, Tulasi, and Bhogawati. Kolhapur’s Panchgaga River is the lifeblood of the Kolhapur district and the surrounding area facing the problem of pollution. Taking into consideration the seriousness of pollution, Sakal pointed towards how a public sphere would ideally solve the issue and help society. The present research focuses on the media’s role in triggering the issue of Panchganga pollution. Habermas’s concept of the public sphere also applies to this concept. The public sphere is an area of social life where public opinion can emerge. A case study method was adopted in this research. The data were collected from the Sakal Kollhapur edition.

Tribal Society in the Era of Globalization

Arjun Lal Jat — 2024-09-30

In the contemporary world, the idea of globalization has become an essential condition for the development of nations, despite its many significant flaws. The concept of globalization gained traction as a "global family," driven by the needs or self-interest of nations, compelling them to refocus on developing and poorer countries after the colonial exploitation era. Even an increasingly aware and informed world has been lured by the appealing notion of a "global village," epitomizing globalization's deceptive charm. Globalization has profoundly influenced every aspect of human society. Developed nations, driven by self-serving motives, have targeted the vast untapped markets of underprivileged communities to sell surplus consumer goods, ushering in a new era of transformation across social, economic, political, and cultural domains in various communities. This process initiated fresh chapters of economic, social, cultural, political, and educational interconnections among nations, characterized by self-centered proximity within this system.

Abstract in Hindi Language: समसामयिक विश्व में ग्लोबलाइजेशन का विचार कई गम्भीर खामियों के बावजूद देशों के विकास की अनिवार्य शर्त बनता जा रहा है। आधुनिक विश्व में ग्लोबलाइजेशन अवधारणा का प्रचार वैश्विक कुटुम्ब के रूप में हुआ विश्व के राष्ट्रों की आवश्यकता या स्वार्थ ने आखिरकार औपनिवेशिककालीन शोषण काल के पश्चात विकासशील व गरीब देशों की ओर एक बार पुनः रुख करने को बाध्य किया । जागरूक व समझदार होते विश्व को भी किस प्रकार झाँसे में लिया जा सकता है “वैश्वीकरण” का यह लुभावना वैश्विक गाँव का नारा इसका प्रत्यक्ष उदाहरण है। वैश्वीकरण ने मानव समाज के प्रत्येक पहलू को गहराई से प्रभावित किया है। विकसित राष्ट्रों द्वारा स्वार्थपूर्ण उद्देश्य को लक्षित करते हुए स्वयं की अतिरिक्त मात्रा की तैयार उपभोक्ता सामग्री के लिए, अछूता रहा विशाल बाजार सुनिश्चित करने के लिए इस वैश्वीकरण के उद्भूत विचार ने विश्व के विभिन्न समुदायों के सामाजिक, आर्थिक, राजनीतिक एवं सांस्कृतिक क्षेत्र में परिवर्तन के एक नए युग की शुरूआत की। जिसके साथ ही विश्व के सभी राष्ट्रों में परस्पर आर्थिक, सामाजिक, सांस्कृतिक, राजनैतिक व शैक्षणिक अन्तर्सम्बन्धों के नए अध्याय प्रारम्भ हुए । इस तन्त्र में सभी में स्वार्थपरक नजदीकता स्थापित हुई ।
